BMAD Fights Canine Distemper with Isolation, Vaccination, and Support
Canine distemper is a serious, contagious disease in dogs.
It spreads through contact and the air, so sick dogs need to be kept away from healthy ones.
The Besant Memorial Animal Dispensary (BMAD) has a special outdoor area for treating dogs with distemper.
Treatment involves expensive injections called Canglob D, which can help fight the virus.
Vaccinations are the best way to prevent the disease, and BMAD offers them at a low cost.
The clinic also accepts donations to help provide affordable treatment, especially for those who cannot pay the full price.
BMAD runs an alfresco isolation ward for dogs with canine distemper.
Canine distemper is highly contagious and spreads through contact and air.
Treatment involves Canglob D injections, both pre- and post-exposure.
Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent canine distemper.
BMAD accepts donations to help subsidize treatment costs.
